Roll a Spider Math Warm Up and Drawing

Get some dice and drawing paper ready, I have a new math warm up idea for you that your students will love. They will have plenty of practice subitizing dot patterns as they order numbers 1-5.

After the math warm up they can paint or color to create an art project for display.

Roll and Spider Math Drawing Warm Up or Activity

Have students roll a dice to draw. They draw in order from 1 to 5 so must roll a one to start, adding each new detail to the spider picture as the correct number is rolled. 

1. draw a body
2. draw 2 eyes
3. draw a mouth and 2 teeth/fangs
4. draw 4 legs on each side
5. draw some spider silk
6. draw a hexagon shaped web

After completing the rolls and having the basic picture drawn, your students can add extra detail - finishing the web and adding colors.

I hope your students love math and numbers a little more today after rolling a spider! Be sure to check the Math Warm Ups page on my website for more ideas and support.
